II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
वेदाचा तो अर्थ आम्हांसींच ठावा I
येरांनी वाहावा भार माथां II
खादल्याची गोडी देखिल्यासी नाही I
भार धन वाही मजूरीचे II
उत्पत्तिपाळण संहाराचे निज I
जेणे नेले बीज त्याचे हाती II
तुका म्हणे आम्हां सांपडले मूळ I
आपणचि फळ आलें हाता II
"Wisdom is not knowledge, not information. It is your inner being awake, alert, watchful and witnessing the glory of the True Self."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the difference between mere recitation of verses of Vedic Scriptures and trying to grasp their true meaning. He says, mere reciting the verses of Vedic Scriptures is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is Experience, for One needs Experience to gain Wisdom. Illustrating with meaningful analogies he says, just like tasting good food is a prerogative of tongue and not the eyes, One who reads the verses of Scriptures without trying to understand the Truth behind them will remain barren of the Divine experience emanating from it by living its Wisdom.
In another analogy he says, just like valuables which a porter carries on his back don't make him rich, One who recites the verses of Scriptures aloud without trying to understand what they mean remains forever naive.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, it is the prerogative of only Self Realised Soul to know the Eternal Truth propounded by the Vedic Scriptures, for only he by becoming One with Supreme Lord Panduranga, the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of the universe, becomes epitome of Wisdom of Scriptures himself.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the Self Realised Soul, having realised his True Self becomes Living Liberated, for the fruit of Liberation holds within it the root of its happening, GOD."
